Introduction to the CM-900

The CM-900 Industrial Carbon Dioxide Storage Safety Allam is a (12-24) VDC powered monitor that is designed to reliably and accurately sense the CO2 levels present in confined spaces, harsh environments, or industrial settings. The safety alarm uses nondispersive infrared (NDIR) sensing technology to measure CO2 levels in areas of potential risk. The monitor is designed to notify workers of potential CO2 exposure risks prior to compromising the health or wellbeing of those workers. The CM-900 is equipped with (3) configurable safety alarms that trigger across the 0-5% (or 0-50,000ppm) measurement range. CO2Meter, Inc. is committed to delivering quality safety solutions that allow its partners to operate without the added layer of CO2 safety causing workflow distractions.

Installation

Choosing Mounting Location
The CM-900 is designed to withstand harsh environments that would compromise other comparable safety monitors. Varying temperature, humidity, and dust/debris levels will not negatively impact the performance of the CM-900. For optimal use, a few considerations should be reviewed while selecting a mounting location:

• Avoid a location that risks high pressure washdown directed at the monitor.
• Avoid a location that would subject the monitor to impact or continuous vibration.
• Mount the monitor 12 inches from the ground.
• Avoid low/high temperature applications without consulting with a product specialist.
• Be sure to mount in a location where 12~24VDC is available to power the monitor.

Wiring

The CM-900 can be hardwired using (1 of 2) available accessories purchasable with the monitor. The CM-900-CON or the CM-900-CBL are available to wire and configure the monitor based on the requirements of the installation. The following diagram represents the pinout of the 16pin connector located on the bottom of the monitor. Once the cable or connector is properly wired and verified with the below diagram, remove the weather cap from device connector and mate the cable or connector. The connection can be confirmed with press fit and snap sound. The CM-900 is now ready to be powered and begin taking measurements.

Operation

Start-up
Verify that the CM-900 is properly wired, and 12-24VDC power is being supplied to the correct pin positions in the mating connector (see page 10). Check all wiring connections before powering. After power-up, the monitor provides accurate CO2 measurements after a 5 second warm up.

Maintenance

• The CM-900 is a low maintenance safety monitor that requires little maintenance after initial installation. It is recommended to calibrate the internal NDIR CO2 Sensor annually. This calibration can be completed in the field, or the monitor can be returned to CO2Meter to perform the calibration. A calibration certificate will be provided with every calibration service.
• Be sure to ask a CO2Meter technician for more information.

Fault Codes
